Welcome to Hampton Roads and Career Orientation and Training for Midshipmen (CORTRAMID) East 2016! 2. Over the next month, you will gain firsthand appreciation for the warfighting capabilities of the finest Navy and Marine Corps the world has ever known. You are out of the university environment and, perhaps for the first time, now have the opportunity to learn things about your chosen career path that cannot be taught in a classroom. The Navy and Marine Corps have specific goals for your CORTRAMID experience: a) Enable Midshipmen to make an informed decision about future and potential career options. b) Familiarize Midshipmen with the people, mission, tasks, and equipment used within the various warfare areas: Surface, Subsurface, Aviation, and Marine Corps. c) Introduce Midshipmen to the career development ladder and training pipelines within each warfare area. d) Emphasize the importance of military courtesy, smartness and discipline. e) Reinforce leadership training through practical application of basic leadership principles. 3. In addition, CORTRAMID East 2016 will include a program for Midshipman sailing qualifications. Sail training is intended to introduce Midshipmen to fundamental concepts in the development of professional sea service officers, including appreciation for the environment of the sea. Accordingly, each Midshipman will receive approximately 22 hours of sail training intended to provide each graduate with a Skipper B qualification. 4. Your CORTRAMID East staff consists of Navy and Marine Corps active duty and civilian personnel from NROTC units across the country, all of whom are dedicated to helping you achieve your training objectives. Because of the fluid nature of operations, you may experience delays, cancellations and rescheduling of events. This is entirely normal and, although frustrating, we will do our best to minimize these occurrences. Your positive attitude, professionalism and resourcefulness will go a long way in mitigating these challenges and are the marks of a well-prepared junior officer. 3 5. While you are assigned to CORTRAMID East you will be expected to conduct yourselves with utmost professionalism. You are on active duty and are subject to U.S. Navy Regulations (NAVREGS), the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) and the lawful orders of the Officer-in-Charge and his staff. You are obliged to follow all rules, regulations and UCMJ statutes, particularly regarding fraternization, sexual misconduct, underage use of alcohol, forgery (fake IDs), your behavior on liberty, and other misconduct. You need to become familiar with the UCMJ or NAVREGS. While assigned, you will be evaluated for your overall performance and potential for service as a commissioned officer. Explicit expectations of performance are contained in this package, though we expect you will have no difficulties provided you are well-versed on standards of conduct and performance, follow all regulations and instructions, exhibit professionalism in and out of uniform, and show up at each evolution on time, ready to train. 6. My staff has put together an outstanding program, but it is up to you to step up when someone asks for volunteers to drive the ship, fly in an aircraft or lead your squad into a “combat town.” It is up to you to request events that are not on the schedule. It is up to you to ask Sailors and Marines about their jobs and to thank them for their time. Remember – the success of your CORTRAMID experience is ultimately in your hands. Again, welcome aboard!

Physical training gear is appropriate when actively engaged in individual physical training. Organized CORTRAMID physical training shall be conducted in the U.S. Navy physical training uniform. Shirts must be worn while running onboard any military installation during CORTRAMID East. Base police will stop individuals not wearing shirts. Additionally, the use of headphones is strictly prohibited while walking or jogging on base. Joggers, fitness walkers, and bicyclists are required to wear high visibility belts or reflective vests on all Navy Region Mid-Atlantic installations during times of darkness or reduced visibility. They are not required for organized sports on established playing fields or on closed loop tracks. Reflective belts are available at the gyms. 13 CORTRAMID STAFF DUTY OFFICER (SDO) A member of the CORTRAMID Staff will be on duty from the end of the working day until the beginning of the next training day (0800 Monday thru Friday or 0900 on Saturday) and all weekend long. During normal working hours, the watch is maintained at the CORTRAMID EAST office. The Duty Officer will be available by cell phone anytime at (757)274-2224 (*phone will be active from 11 July until 15 August). PLAN OF THE DAY The Plan of the Day (POD) will list the training schedule for your company. Your Company Officer, Assistant Company Officer or Company Chief will provide you with specific details regarding each training event. OPERATIONAL CONSIDERATIONS Every effort has been made to make your orientation productive and meaningful. However, there may be instances when changes to the schedule occur due to operational necessity. You will be advised as early as possible regarding any changes to the training schedule. You are expected to act professionally to changing situations. TRANSPORTATION Bus and van transportation will be provided. Details on schedules and routes will be made available to Midshipmen Company Commanders for dissemination. BE ON TIME. Personal vehicles are NOT authorized and shall not be used for any official training activities. When riding in government furnished transportation, seat belts shall be worn at all times. MAIL "Mail Call" will be held each day at the BOQs. Your mailing address during CORTRAMID is: MIDN 3/C John/Jane Doe CORTRAMID EAST, Company 14 Regional Mail Center 9225 Third Ave Norfolk, VA 23551 For Express Mail, e.g. FEDEX: MIDN 3/C John/Jane Doe CORTRAMID EAST, Company __ 1530 Gilbert St Suite 2000 Norfolk VA 23511 * Mail received while Midshipmen are at Camp Lejeune (Marine Week) or Kings Bay (Submarine Week) will be held in Norfolk until your return to Norfolk. CORTRAMID East is not responsible for forwarding mail received after you have departed Norfolk for the final time. SOCIAL ACTIVITIES Each group will have the opportunity to attend one or more picnics. Fleet officers will be invited to attend at least one of these events. Volleyball and other outside activities will be available. There may also be opportunities to attend other officer social functions on an individual or group basis. If you are specifically interested in participating with a given warfare community in wardroom social activities, ensure that your Company Officer is aware of your desires. In addition to picnics and officer socials, CORTRAMID EAST will offer several special recreational events and trips which will be introduced weekly. ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES Virginia, Georgia and North Carolina state laws prohibit the purchase or consumption of any alcoholic beverage by anyone under the age of 21. If you are over 21, you may choose to consume alcoholic beverages while on liberty. 15 While you are on CORTRAMID, there is ZERO TOLERANCE for over-indulgence, public intoxication, driving under the influence, or underage drinking. The following violations will be vigorously prosecuted: contributing to underage drinking by Midshipmen, drunk and disorderly conduct, any arrest for DUI, and a DUI conviction. If you engage in any of these activities, your training will be terminated and you will be returned to your unit for subsequent disciplinary action. At your unit, you can expect to receive an adverse Fitness Report, a Performance Review Board, and possibly a recommendation for disenrollment from the NROTC program. Furthermore, drunk and disorderly conduct is a violation of the UCMJ. State laws are also quite strict with regard to driving under the influence. If you are arrested for DUI, or drunk and disorderly conduct, you will face significant civilian and military criminal charges. Let there be no doubt, you will be held accountable for your actions. FRATERNIZATION POLICY Navy and Marine Corps prohibitions against fraternization apply to you during this training period. Keep your relationships with your classmates professional and consistent with the concept of “shipmate.” Due to the unique nature of your assignment, Midshipmen shall also refrain from establishing unduly familiar relationships with active duty personnel, enlisted or officer. This restriction applies both on and off base, and at all times. In order to preserve good order and discipline while onboard CORTRAMID East and to prevent any perception of impropriety, Midshipmen are not allowed to visit or host members of the opposite sex in quarters. SEXUAL HARASSMENT/ASSAULT Sexual assault is a crime and has no place in the military. It is an attack on the values we defend and the cohesion our units demand. Per the Manual for Courts Martial, sexual harassment includes: influencing, offering to influence, or threatening the career, pay, or job of another person in exchange for sexual favors, and deliberate or repeated offensive comments or gestures of a sexual nature. 16 Sexual assault is defined as: a sexual act upon another person by threatening or placing that other person in fear; causing bodily harm to that other person; making a fraudulent representation that the sexual act serves a professional purpose; or inducing a belief by any artifice, pretense, or concealment that the person is another person; a sexual act upon another person when the person knows or reasonably should know that the other person is asleep, unconscious, or otherwise unaware that the sexual act is occurring; or a sexual act upon another person when the other person is incapable of consenting to the sexual act due to: impairment by any drug, intoxicant, or other similar substance, and that condition is known or reasonably should be known by the person; or a mental disease or defect, or physical disability, and that condition is known or reasonably should be known by the person. Any instance or report of sexual harassment or sexual assault will be dealt with immediately. As in the active duty force, CORTRAMID shall abide by a zero-tolerance policy for sexual innuendo, jokes, pictures, cartoons, or other offensive behavior of a sexual nature. If you are a victim of sexual harassment/assault during CORTRAMID, your well-being and follow-on care shall be our primary concern. Ensure you are familiar with the reporting and support options available to you while at CORTRAMID. If you are the perpetrator of sexually inappropriate behavior, you will be held accountable for your actions and will face significant civilian and military criminal charges. SICK CALL Sick call will be held each weekday morning at the first formation of the day or at 0700, whichever comes first. Your Company Officer or Assistant Company Officer will obtain your medical record from the CORTRAMID administrative office prior to you reporting to sick call at the medical clinic. On weekends or outside normal working hours, contact your Company Officer or Assistant Company Officer, or the Staff Duty Officer, who will arrange transportation to a medical facility. RELIGIOUS SERVICES 17 Religious Services are conducted in Building C-7, Frazier Hall (Base Chapel) at the following times (the Chapel office phone number is 757-444-7361): Catholic Sunday 1000 Jewish Friday 1930 Protestant Sunday 1030 Muslim Friday 1300 The duty chaplain can be reached after working hours through the Naval Station Norfolk quarterdeck at (757) 322-2365. 18 OTHER INFORMATION The Navy Exchange offers many services you may require during CORTRAMID. You need your ID card and a copy of your orders to use them. Restricted Areas: There are a few areas on military installations that are "off-limits". They are clearly marked by fences and/or signs. These areas could contain classified material or equipment and/or safety hazards. Sun bathing is one of the more popular activities in the beach area. Remember, over exposure could result in severe sunburn, sickness and termination of your training. Hitchhiking: Hitchhiking is illegal and can be dangerous. In the past few years shooting deaths of hitchhikers have occurred. Don't set yourself up! Photography: Ask before you start taking pictures, especially on base. In the post-9/11 environment, base security is very sensitive to photography and may detain you if you are seen taking pictures. Valuables: Don't put temptation in the way of an otherwise honest person. Keep your valuables locked up or on your person. Be on time. The responsibility for moving nearly 500 Midshipmen is a tremendous task that will require you to muster on time at the designated point. Reading the Plan of the Day will assist you in this task. Military protocol requires the rendering of salutes to all commissioned officers as a matter of tradition, courtesy, honor, and respect. This rule applies both on and off base while you are in uniform, whether or not the officer you are saluting is personally in uniform. If you recognize the individual as a commissioned officer from any service, it is appropriate to salute and render a pleasant greeting such as “Good morning, ma’am,” or “Good evening, sir.” “What’s up,” is not an appropriate greeting. The general rule is, when in doubt … SALUTE. Cell phone use, to include texting, is not authorized while driving on any military installation. You WILL be issued a citation. 19 Cell phone/portable communication device use in uniform has additional restrictions. Generally, Bluetooth or headsets are not authorized for use in uniform nor shall the use of a cell phone interfere with the rendering of salutes or honors. 20 Surface Warfare Orientation Training Objectives: 1. Indoctrinate Midshipmen in the missions of the Surface Forces of the Navy. 2. Familiarize Midshipmen with the duties of a Surface Warfare Junior Officer and the career path of Surface Warfare Officers. 3. Provide an introduction to shipboard navigation, damage control, firefighting and seamanship. 4. Provide maximum exposure to all facets of the Surface Forces. Goals The goals of surface warfare week are to familiarize Midshipmen with many facets of the modern surface fleet and to motivate Midshipmen toward careers in surface warfare. These goals will be accomplished by getting Midshipmen on board many different ships as much as possible and through a series of hands-on training events. Plans are to involve Midshipmen in everything from ship handling to utilization of small arms for anti-terrorism and force protection to damage control and firefighting. All training will emphasize "doing" rather than "seeing." Energized and engaged Midshipmen will learn more and be more likely to be invited to participate in more activities. Midshipmen must remain fully engaged during this demanding week by participating and asking questions. Schedule of Events Each Midshipman will experience the many facets of the Surface Warfare community and its support elements during this week. Midshipmen will have the opportunity to meet and work with newlycommissioned Ensigns on their first assignment, as well as meet other Surface Warfare Officers and enlisted Sailors who are the backbone of today's most professional and technologically advanced Navy. Day one will begin with a welcome-aboard brief by RADM Grady. In the following days, Midshipmen will participate in a 21 number of activities to include a visit to the Ship Handling Simulator underway on a ship during a Sea and Anchor detail, small craft transport, sessions with the ship’s CO, XO and CMC; along with a Combat Training Scenario. Midshipman will also have an amphibious day to include tours of LHD or LPD ship, LCU/LCAC static displays and watch a demonstration of an amphibious landing. To provide an even more rounded experience, Midshipman will also have an opportunity to tour the nearby Coastal Riverine Squadron, Beach Masters and compete in DC Olympics. Surface week will conclude with a social picnic (hoisted by the finest chiefs mess on the water front!) where the Midshipmen will be able to interact with senior leadership and wardrooms from the waterfront. Preparation and Safety As a safety precaution, a medical screening will be conducted prior to the first week of training. Barring any unforeseen medical problem, all Midshipmen are expected to participate in high-risk training (i.e. damage control, live-fire events, small boat operations, etc.). The uniform for all events in Surface week will be NWU or MARPAT. Many people have worked hard to ensure this week will be interesting, demanding and professionally rewarding. We are sure this week will be one of the most memorable experiences of your naval career. Take advantage of this terrific opportunity, have fun and ask questions! 22 SUBMARINE WARFARE ORIENTATION Training Objectives: 1. Indoctrinate Midshipmen in the roles and missions of attack and Fleet Ballistic Missile Submarines (SSBN). 2. Provide Midshipmen with an appreciation of the duties of a junior officer in submarines and the career path of Submarine Officers. 3. Provide an introduction to shipboard damage control, as feasible. 4. Provide Midshipmen, as feasible, two days at sea and two days of ashore training and orientation. Schedule of Events Each Midshipman will rotate through most or all of the following facets of the Submarine Warfare community and its support elements: Career Brief Submarine Underway for 48 hours Submarine Ship Control Simulator Damage Control Wet Trainer Attack Center Simulators Trident Refit Facility tour Every attempt will be made to get all Midshipmen underway on a submarine. Transit to, embarkation and debarkation from fleet units will be made by small boat. Brief Stop for Personnel (BSP) may take up to seven hours, so be prepared for a long boat ride. You must wear a life jacket when transferring to and from the submarine at sea. Personnel transfers at sea can be hazardous evolutions; pay particular attention to directing personnel during these evolutions and once aboard the submarine. Do not loiter topside! 23 What to Bring for the At-Sea Period Navy Working Uniform Sneakers Towel Change of underwear and socks Personal Hygiene/Shaving kit (non-aerosol shaving cream) NWU Parka Liner or equivalent personal fleece, sweater, or jacket for cold spaces onboard to wear with your NWUs. A unit sweatshirt or other item that fits this description with your command logo is a good idea. What not to Bring Civilian clothes Brasso/shoe polish (atmospheric contaminant) Aerosols (atmospheric contaminant) Valuables (such as large amounts of cash, etc.) Cell phones, laptops or any device with a camera If you are taking prescription medication, bring the bottle including label with you and inform the ship’s Independent Duty Corpsman (IDC) as soon as you come aboard. What to Bring to the Damage Control Trainer You will have an opportunity to train in a wet trainer which simulates a flooding event at sea. It’s a lot of fun, but you will need a change of clothes at the end of the session. No contact lenses are allowed in the trainer, so bring and wear your glasses. 24 AVIATION WARFARE ORIENTATION Training Objectives: 1. Indoctrinate Midshipmen in the concept, roles and mission of Naval Aviation. 2. Provide Midshipmen with an appreciation of the duties of a junior officer in naval aviation and the career patterns of Naval Aviators and Naval Flight Officers. 3. Provide Midshipmen, as feasible, flight time in a fleet or training aircraft. Goals Provide each Midshipman with an opportunity to observe and participate in various aspects of Naval Aviation. Preparation You will be given an aviation flight screening upon arrival at CORTRAMID East. If you are cleared, you will receive an aeromedical “up-chit.” This “up-chit” is your key to being able to fly in an aircraft so DO NOT LOOSE IT! To help ensure a better medical screening experience, if you wear contacts don’t. Midshipman are required to travel to CORTRAMID in glasses if you have/wear them. Hand carry your Medical and Dental Records! Be sure that your ears are cleaned thoroughly before the aviation flight screening as excessive build-up of wax may prevent you from being medically cleared. If you have been medically cleared following your flight screening and are at least a second-class swimmer, you will actively participate in water survival during the first day of Aviation Week. 25 In addition to classroom lectures and practical application in the water, you will be required to complete a 25-yard swim wearing flight suit and boots, without stops or support, using three different survival swim strokes in addition to a two-minute tread/drownproof. You must bring the following items with you in order to participate in the aviation physiology training: military ID card, aeromedical upchit, bathing suit (females must have a conservative one-piece suit) and towel. Do not bring any jewelry or valuables. As a planning factor, the Sunday prior to Aviation Week will be dedicated to gear issue and other preparatory requirements prior to the start of training. This year aircraft are in high demand and may hinder the availability of resources for CORTRAMID EAST and our ability to provide T-34C (fixed-wing) flights for all. All Midshipmen will have the opportunity to fly in a Navy helicopter during Aviation Week. Assignment Criteria for Aviation Week Assignment will be based on the following factors: 1. Aeromedical up-chit signed by a flight surgeon. 2. Sickle Cell (HSS) and Hematocrit (HCT) test results. A missing or unsatisfactory HSS or HCT test result will only allow a “low altitude” assignment because of the physiological impact on blood cells when in a low-pressure (high altitude) environment. If you know you have this condition, speak up! 3. Successful completion of Aviation Water Survival, including 2nd Class swimmer qualification. 4.

Schedule of Events Midshipmen will be exposed to a variety of information and opportunities at NAVSTA Norfolk and NAS Oceana during Aviation Week. Midshipman will have the opportunity to sit in on aviation mission briefings, tour F-18’s, P-8’s, E2-C’s, and H-60’s. Midshipman will also get a firsthand experience of the training for water survival, culminating in H-60 rides around the Naval Station Norfolk area. While the CORTRAMID staff are actively pursuing T-34C rides for all Midshipman, limited resources restrict the number of Midshipman who get rides. Aviation week will end with an aviation outing where Midshipman will have the opportunity to meet with senior enlisted to learn what makes a good Naval/Marine Corps officer in the eyes of the enlisted! 27 MARINE CORPS ORIENTATION Training Objectives: 1. Demonstrate to Midshipmen the types of tactical knowledge, military skills and leadership qualities demanded of a Company Grade Officer in the Marine Corps. 2. Introduce Midshipmen to the training environment of the Company Grade Officer in the Marine Corps. 3. Introduce Midshipmen to the various career opportunities available to officers commissioned into the Marine Corps. 4. Provide Midshipmen an opportunity to operate and/or become familiar with the individual and crew-served weapons organic to the Marine infantry battalion. 5. Demonstrate the capabilities of equipment organic to the Marine Air-Ground Task Force (MAGTF). 6. Provide Midshipmen exposure to Marine physical fitness and combat conditioning (obstacle course, Marine Corps Martial Arts demo) and maintain the fitness level of Midshipmen during Marine Week. 7. Marine Week training will include the confidence course, pugil sticks, NBC Chamber, obstacle course, Military Operations in Urban Terrain (MOUT), live fire of infantry battalion weapons, simulator training, fundamental tactics, techniques and procedures, field hygiene and security operations and much more. Safety A comprehensive safety brief will be provided to all Midshipmen on the first day of Marine Week. Additionally, all exercises, training evolutions and physical fitness events will be preceded by a safety 28 briefing. It is essential that all Midshipmen are attentive to and adhere to all safety guidelines for each event. Expectations 1. The Marine Week of CORTRAMID East 2016 is an extraordinary opportunity to experience life in the Marine Corps. It is challenging but, year after year, highly valued by CORTRAMID Midshipmen who experience it. You are encouraged to take away all that you can and learn as much as possible during your week with the Marines. DO NOT WASTE THIS OPPORTUNITY! This week will provide you with additional insight to assist you in making an informed decision about our future as an officer on the Navy/Marine Corps team. 2. The primary expectations of all Midshipmen at Marine Week are two-fold: a. Conduct yourself as professionals and adhere to and uphold the established standards. In order to achieve the maximum possible benefit and enjoyment from your participation in Marine Week, you must be fully prepared to be challenged, to apply yourself to the training and to learn as much as possible in a short period of time. The most important key to your success in and enjoyment of Marine Week is your mental state of readiness and a positive attitude toward training: a positive and enthusiastic frame of mind is important. Your physical readiness will also play a significant role in your ability to make the most of Marine Week. Therefore, you must ensure you take advantage of any rest periods, eat properly (including MREs), constantly hydrate, and be attentive to any physical problems you encounter (sunburn, blisters, dehydration, etc.). b. Take the initiative to be fully prepared for all evolutions. Bring all specified, required, recommended gear and equipment for training. 29 Additional detailed expectations will be provided to you in the “Rules of the Road” for Marine Week brief. In addition, Midshipmen will spend a night in the field, either in tents or under the stars and are expected to follow proper procedures for living in a field environment. 3. Much of the Marine Corps’ long history of success in combat is directly correlated to the training provided to Marines prior to combat operations. The Marine Week of CORTRAMID will strive to emphasize the training required to develop Company Grade Officers and to uphold the longstanding heritage of success of the Marine Corps. The more you sweat in peacetime, the less you bleed in war. Marine Week is designed to give Midshipmen a glimpse of how the Marine Corps trains and fights using a combined arms approach to warfare with a focus on the roles and responsibilities of the Company Grade Officer. 4. Refer to the CORTRAMID East Sea Bag Inventory for gear needed for training. a. All personal hygiene items required will be permitted and should be brought by all Midshipmen. This should include any personal feminine hygiene items required. b. Navy Option Midshipmen are authorized to wear black, nonsteel toed boots during Marine Week. These boots are optional/selfpurchased items and will not be issued for CORTRAMID. c. ABSOLUTELY NO CELL PHONES OR ENTERTAINMENT DEVICES WILL BE AUTHORIZED. Midshipmen are authorized to bring small cameras and will be given specific guidance on when they will be allowed to take photographs. Due to the physical demands of training, Midshipmen are responsible for properly safeguarding this item from damage and/or loss. 30 d. Midshipmen will be living in field conditions and sleeping in squad bays at Camp Geiger. Midshipmen will have a wall locker in order to secure their personal gear and organizational-issued equipment. Midshipmen should ensure they leave no gear adrift in their rooms while they are training at Marine Week. Bring a lock to secure your items in your wall locker.
